Hey hip-hop nerds. What kind-of hip-hop is this?

The only place I've heard this kind-of hip hop is blasting from these cars that drive down streets really slowly at night in Brooklyn just blasting this weird kind-of hip-hop. It's dark and slow-mid-tempo and kinda spooky, and talking about death and darkness and other night kinda shit. What is this?

Earlier today I was thinking about starting a thread dedicated to begging forgiveness for your worst three threads of all time. I thought we could all admit that we had created some truly shitty threads, offer them up, admit we were fools, and move on. However, I realized that I would get zinged for starting a thread that deserved to be included in a "my worst three threads" list. I decided against it.

In memory of a thread dedicated to bad threads that never was, I respect what's going on here, and I can picture the really long link to this thread being copied and pasted into my imaginary "beg for forgiveness" thread

woah, this one car just drove by ... it sounded like one of those latino ballads or something, but it was slowed down so much and it had this drawn out echoey decay thing going on. there's some freaky shit going on outside my window

I was pulling yer leg, but I'd be genuinely interested in finding out what this is... especially if it sounds anything like Tomb by Gatekeeper - one of the the few dubstep records I wouldn't want to be parted from.

Sounds to me like Cumbia Rebajada which is like Cumbia slowed down by cough syrup or something like that. There's this Monterrey guy, who happens to be friends with Diplo, named Toy Selectah. He went to London and did an appearance with Sinden at Kiss FM about two months ago. He mixes this slowed cumbia sounds with reggaeton and makes some other beats that he calls Raverton. He's remixed loads of stuff, latin stuff mainly. Got get some of this remixes from his side project's website @ sonideronacional.com/blog/

If it ain't something like this i'd still like to know what the hell are we talking about,

PLAN B) STOP BEING THE NEIGHBORHOOD-GENTRIFYING SCARED-OF-THE-LOCALS MESSENGER-BAG-WEARING WHITEY BLOGGER SHITHEAD YOU MAKE FUN OF IN EVERY "HIPSTER" THREAD AND ACTUALLY GO UP TO A HUMAN BEING AND ASK THEM POLITELY WHAT IT IS

The only place I've heard this kind-of panda bear is blasting from these cars that drive down streets really slowly at night in Brooklyn just blasting this weird kind-of panda bear. It's dark and slow-mid-tempo and kinda spooky, and talking about death and darkness and other night kinda shit. What is this?

This sound has been quite popular in Helsinki underground rap for years now. Dunno whether it was inspired by whatever the original post was describing, though I think the original inspiration was chopped & screwed style Southern rap + horrorcore.
